CLINTON - Ole Petterson had expressed interest in running for Oneida County Executive in the last election.
Now, Pettersen is accused of collecting roughly $500,000 in payments from the State Department of Health to which he was not entitled.
Pettersen faces one count of grand larceny, 10 counts of falsifying business records in the first-degree and one count of offering a false instrument for filing.
He will enter a plea in Oneida County Court on April 21.
